Emergency Starting
CONNECTING THE BOOSTER CABLES
Diesel engine vehicles
WARNING
For safety reasons:
•
ALWAYS connect the BLACK cable to the
donor battery LAST.
+
•
ENSURE that each connection is securely
made and that there is no risk of the clips
accidentally slipping or being pulled from
the battery terminals - this could cause
sparking, which could lead to explosion or
fire.
+
+
Check that the cables are clear of any moving
parts of both engines, then start the engine of
the donor vehicle and allow it to idle for a few
minutes.

Now start the vehicle with the discharged
battery. Once both engines are running
normally, allow them to idle for two minutes
before switching off the donor vehicle engine.
Always adopt the following procedure,
ensuring the cables are connected in the
order shown below:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Connect one end of the RED booster cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the donor
battery.
Connect the other end of the RED booster
cable to the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery.
Connect one end of the BLACK booster
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
DISCHARGED battery.
Connect the other end of the BLACK
booster cable to the negative (-) terminal
of the donor battery.
DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits on the
previously disabled vehicle until AFTER the
booster cables have been removed.
Disconnecting the booster cables must be an
EXACT reversal of the procedure used to
connect them, i.e. disconnect the BLACK cable
from the negative (-) terminal on the donor
vehicle FIRST.
